Stories about witches are by their nature stories about the most basic and profound of human experiences—healing, sex, violence, tragedies, aging, death, and encountering the mystery and magic of the unknown.

Summary:
Stories about witches are by their nature stories about the most basic and profound of human experiences—healing, sex, violence, tragedies, aging, death, and encountering the mystery and magic of the unknown. It is no surprise, then, that witches loom large in our cultural imaginations. In academia, studies of witches rarely emerge from scholars who are themselves witches and/or embedded in communities of witchcraft practitioners. ''The Witch Studies Reader'' brings together a diverse group of scholars, practitioners, and scholar-practitioners who examine witchcraft from a critical decolonial feminist perspective that decenters Europe and departs from exoticizing and pathologizing writing on witchcraft in the global South. The authors show how witches are keepers of suppressed knowledges, builders of new futures, exemplars of praxis, and theorists in their own right. Throughout, they account for the vastly different national, political-economic, and cultural contexts in which “the witch” is currently being claimed and repudiated. Offering a pathbreaking transnational feminist examination of witches and witchcraft that upends white supremacist, colonial, patriarchal knowledge regimes, this volume brings into being the interdisciplinary field of feminist witch studies.

Summary:
What does feminism have to say to the Anthropocene? How does the concept of the Anthropocene impact feminism? This book is a daring and provocative response to the masculinist and techno-normative approach to the Anthropocene so often taken by technoscientists, artists, humanists, and social scientists. By coining and, for the first time, fully exploring the concept of “anthropocene feminism,” it highlights the alternatives feminism and queer theory can offer for thinking about the Anthropocene. Feminist theory has long been concerned with the anthropogenic impact of humans, particularly men, on nature. Consequently, the contributors to this volume explore not only what current interest in the Anthropocene might mean for feminism but also what it is that feminist theory can contribute to technoscientific understandings of the Anthropocene. With essays from prominent environmental and feminist scholars on topics ranging from Hawaiian poetry to Foucault to shelled creatures to hypomodernity to posthuman feminism, this book highlights both why we need an anthropocene feminism and why thinking about the Anthropocene must come from feminism.

Summary:
In ''Complaint!'' Sara Ahmed examines what we can learn about power from those who complain about abuses of power. Drawing on oral and written testimonies from academics and students who have made complaints about harassment, bullying, and unequal working conditions at universities, Ahmed explores the gap between what is supposed to happen when complaints are made and what actually happens. To make complaints within institutions is to learn how they work and for whom they work: complaint as feminist pedagogy. Ahmed explores how complaints are made behind closed doors and how doors are often closed on those who complain. To open these doors---to get complaints through, keep them going, or keep them alive---Ahmed emphasizes, requires forming new kinds of collectives. This book offers a systematic analysis of the methods used to stop complaints and a powerful and poetic meditation on what complaints can be used to do. Following a long lineage of Black feminist and feminist of color critiques of the university, Ahmed delivers a timely consideration of how institutional change becomes possible and why it is necessary.

Summary:
The first book to take a feminist geographical approach to infrastructure, "Gendered infrastructures" delves into the complex relationships between identity, social relations, and infrastructure. By drawing on feminist scholarship to enable new frameworks for critical study, this edited volume explores the gendered nature of infrastructures as diverse as Senegal’s waste disposal, Vietnam’s cement industry, and Lilongwe’s water kiosks. The chapters consider how infrastructural assemblages rework and shape gendered relations, identities, and meanings across space, while tracing the intersectionality of relations and uneven geographies that surround infrastructure. Ultimately, the contributors show how gender is always present in the quotidian building blocks that organize the socio-material world and daily life.

Summary:
Outrageous and violent, SCUM Manifesto was widely lambasted when it first appeared in 1968. Valerie Solanas, the woman who shot Andy Warhol, self-published the book just before she became a notorious household name and was confined to a mental institution. But for all its vitriol, it is impossible to dismiss as the mere rantings of a lesbian lunatic. In fact, the work has(...)

Summary:
Outrageous and violent, SCUM Manifesto was widely lambasted when it first appeared in 1968. Valerie Solanas, the woman who shot Andy Warhol, self-published the book just before she became a notorious household name and was confined to a mental institution. But for all its vitriol, it is impossible to dismiss as the mere rantings of a lesbian lunatic. In fact, the work has proved prescient, not only as a radical feminist analysis light years ahead of its time—predicting artificial insemination, ATMs, a feminist uprising against underrepresentation in the arts—but also as a stunning testament to the rage of an abused and destitute woman.

Summary:
Rassemblant les meilleurs textes d’Anna Kruzynski et un entretien sur sa trajectoire militante et intellectuelle, « Quartier en lutte » revient sur deux décennies de lutte sociale à Montréal, notamment dans le quartier Pointe-Saint-Charles. Cette anthologie, à la fois personnelle et politique, fait résonner ses réflexions avec les voix de femmes de la classe ouvrière engagées dans le milieu communautaire, de militant·es contre l’embourgeoisement et pour l’autogestion, de (pro)féministes ainsi que d’anarchistes antioppression. « J’ai appris que le changement social est un processus de longue haleine, une accumulation de moments, d’innovations, de conflits, d’avancées, de reculs. Que, tranquillement, pas vite, les normes culturelles changent, souvent de manière imperceptible, et qu’à un moment donné, il y a éruption, une cassure, et un moment de transformation radicale, et les choses ne sont plus comme avant. »

Summary:
Rien n’a jamais été publié en France sur Sylvia Pankhurst. Sa pensée résonne pourtant aujourd’hui avec une bien plus grande force, une bien plus grande actualité que celle de militantes dont le seul horizon était celui du vote. Sylvia Pankhurst (1882-1960) est une féministe britannique, fille d'Emmeline Pankhurst aux côtés de laquelle elle a animé le mouvement des suffragettes avant de s'en émanciper, le trouvant trop bourgeois. Elle fait partie des fondatrices du Parti communiste britannique mais en fut expulsée pour « gauchisme ». Féministe et anticolonialiste avant l'heure qui faisait fi des conventions de son époque (se marier), elle appartient au panthéon des femmes révolutionnaires au même titre que ses contemporaines Emma Goldman, Alexandra Kollontaï, Rosa Luxemburg et Clara Zetkin. Figure méconnue dans le monde francophone, ceci est sa première biographie.

Le 14 juin 2019 a eu lieu, en Suisse, la deuxième grève nationale des femmes. Ces quatre textes s'inscrivent dans ce contexte. L'invisibilisation du travail reproductif et gratuit fournit par les femmes est une des raisons de la colère qui s'exprime aujourd'hui. Les quatre textes regroupés dans cet ouvrage mettent en lumière l'enjeu de ce travail pour les luttes féministes actuelles. Quels sont les usages de la grève hors du travail marchand ? Comment mener une grève du travail domestique, du travail gratuit ou du travail du sexe ? Une grève permet-elle de valoriser/visibiliser ce travail tout en le contestant ? Peut-on lutter contre le patriarcat sans lutter contre le capitalisme ?
